The female of Caliscelidae FP-2745 has a black, anteriorly bulging preclypeus, unlike females in the similar Caliscelidae FP-899 and Caliscelidae FP-914 from Barrow Island.
The male of Caliscelidae FP-2745 is currently unknown, but taking the sexual dimorphism in the family to account, it is possible that it is the male here listed as Caliscelidae FP-900 pending molecular analyses.
